Fuel cell stack model in femlab 3.1

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on challenges faced while modeling a fuel cell stack using FEMLAB 3.1. The user reports issues with the solver failing to compute results despite following the provided instructions accurately. Key problems identified include an excessive number of elements—approximately one hundred more than the inbuilt model—and difficulties in performing a union operation on the array as instructed in the accompanying literature.

PREREQUISITES
  • FEMLAB 3.1 software proficiency
  • Understanding of 3D modeling techniques
  • Knowledge of fuel cell stack design principles
  • Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Investigate optimization techniques for reducing element count in FEMLAB 3.1
  • Learn about troubleshooting common solver issues in FEMLAB 3.1
  • Research methods for performing union operations in 3D modeling software
  • Explore advanced features of FEMLAB 3.1 for fuel cell modeling
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students involved in fuel cell technology and finite element analysis, particularly those using FEMLAB 3.1 for 3D modeling tasks.

i am learning femlab 3.1...so following the model library given with the set of books..
but i am facing problems with the 3 d modelling..
as in case of fuel cell stack model..the solver is unable to solve even if all the steps are followed according to given instructions..
i have double checked the conditions and geometry and evrything is fine and matches the inbuilt model...
so i think the problem is with the number of elements which i am getting a hundred(approx)
more than the inbuilt one..
also there is a problem in a step where the book says to union the array but the software is unable to make the union..
pllz someone help..

someone please help...as i am unable to do anything... :(
